Bad Dog | woof

The mutts crashed down, their forms like a flurry of large vermin, painting the building and area black and fuzzy as they swarmed. Yipping and howling, drool and spit; it all came crashing down, frenzy screeches forming a wailing orchestra as bodies were flailed and sliced to pieces. These hollows proved easy to contend with, but their vast numbers were meant to wear and tear, not win. A person can only fight for so long, and with no idea how many Hollow existed, it seemed an endless sea of nearing defeat for the two women.

"Beckon the coming calm, Saigai-"

A bright flash of light swept over the buildings, deleting a multitude of the Hollow, opening a clear path for the two women. Behind them, Mizu's partner stood, his body hunched over. Blood fell from his mouth, painting the ground underneath him as he fell to a knee, a small smile on his face. That moment his body rose on its own possessed sparked life within him, but already, it would seem far and gone.

"Run, Mizu... They have... a queen."

Already, his body is swarmed by the rabid mutts that have come to replace the ones that were evaporated, the opening made already beginning to close for the two women.

IRA HOLYFIELD

"Ah, shit."

Ira was at a distinct disadvantage the way this was going, but he had no intentions of trying to just flee. He could see the value of the opening that'd formed from the fallen shinigami's sacrifice, and despite his own lack of particular ability, he wasn't going to ask this shinigami to keep pulling all the weight here.

"C'mon, little lady! If they've got a queen, only right that we handle that instead of these pests!"

He knew that the death of this shinigami would probably impact Mizu a bit more than himself, but he just had to hope she was composed enough to deal with something like that in the heat of the moment. For now, he couldn't really do much else but book it toward the opening that had been formed. Thankfully, he wasn't as slow as he could be.

MORIKAWA MIZU

Sadness and anger welled up inside Mizu as she watched her fallen comrade's final moments spent to provide them with a sliver of hope. As a woman who cared deeply for those she serves with in the Gotei she was distraught, but as a soldier of Soul Society Kumagaya's sacrifice only sharpened her resolve. "I'm right behind you, Ira-san!" yelled Mizu as she sprinted forward and through the opening her colleague had made.

Once they approached the edge of the building they stood on Mizu reached out to grab Ira's hand and leaped from the building. By creating platforms out of her Shikai's crystals, she made it possible for both of them to traverse the chasms separating buildings, and kept Ira with her as she did. As soon as they made it to another section of town, this time having run even further than before, she released Ira and took a moment to both take some breaths and figure out how to hunt down the leader of these monsters.

"Ira-san...I'm sure I don't need to tell you...but we need to find and destroy their leader. I hate to ask this of a human, but please do your best to sense for anything that could be strong enough." True to her word, and as she continued gasping for breath, Mizu expanded her spiritual sensing to its maximum limit to look for this "queen" Kumagaya had mentioned.
